Rules in Toubkal National Park

Guide rules on Toubkal

Since 2019 you walk above Imlil only with a licensed local guide. Every trek here includes one.

The short answer

Yes. Since early 2019 hikers may only go up Toubkal with a licensed local guide, and checkpoints on the way to the refuge check your passport and the guide’s card. Every trek on this site includes a guide, so there is nothing extra to arrange. Carry your passport and plan cash for tips, which are not included.

The rule came after two women hikers were murdered in the Toubkal area in December 2018. Since early 2019 the national park admits hikers above the village only with a licensed local guide. For you it changes little: the guide is part of the package on every trek here, from Imlil to the summit and back.

The checkpoints

Gendarmerie posts sit on the path, among them at Aremd, at Sidi Chamharouch and at the refuge. They check passports and the guide’s licence card. Keep your passport in the daypack, not in the suitcase you left in Marrakech; Click Excursions asks for it on its listing, and a reviewer of Berber Tours & Adventures calls it pretty much a must for entering the park.

What the guide decides

The guide sets the pace, the breaks and the start time for the summit, and can change or stop the route. Click Excursions writes this into its listing: the guide may alter or cancel the ascent for weather or safety. Reviewers who could not reach the top in bad weather praised how their guides handled it. If you are slower than the group, tell the guide early; some teams split the group with more than one guide, as reviewers of Omar Adventures-morocco describe. For a pace set around you, see private Toubkal treks.

Booking with a guide included

All listings here include the guide in the price. Marrakech Day Trips - Tours lists a local guide and a professional guide, the four-day trek a licensed mountain guide, and Toubkal Ascent a mountain guide with a muleteer and a cook.

Tipping

Tips are not part of the price on any listing that mentions them, including Omar Adventures-morocco, Berber Tours & Adventures, marocuniquevoyage, Toubkal Ascent and the three-day trek by Marrakech Day Trips - Tours. Guests usually tip the guide at the end, and the cook and muleteer where they came along. Keep small notes aside for it. See what each trek includes. Cash is on the packing list.

Guides on the mountain

Guests name their guides, the care for slower walkers and the passport they needed. One reviewer found that the listed Spanish was not spoken by any of the guides.

“It's a beautiful experience, but be careful, you need to be well trained. Tiring but challenging. Bring your passport. It's not written, but it's pretty much a must to get into the nature park. With snow from November onwards, it could be dangerous. Better in summer. Before booking, check the weather.”
Alberto · Morocco · November 2025 · translated review 2-day trek via the Mizane Valley · Berber Tours & Adventures
“This Trip was amazing from start to finish. The guides Ibrahim and Ridwan were friendly and professional, looking after us all. The refuge was very nice and a great place to rest before heading to the summit.”
Harry · United Kingdom · July 2026 2-day summit trek · Marrakech Day Trips - Tours
“From start to finish, it was planned out perfectly. The driver (Omar) that picked us up for our hotel transfer was polite and friendly, everything was explained clearly before we set off. Our two guides Mustapha & Mohammed were amazing throughout the trek.”
Beau · United Kingdom · September 2026 2-day summit trek · Marrakech Day Trips - Tours
“On the first day, conserve your energy, as you'll arrive in time for an early dinner and then almost straight to bed, because on the second day you'll start walking towards the summit at 3:30 AM. Listen to any equipment recommendations from the guides. It's cold and windy at the top, and the high mountains aren't always forgiving. … There are 3 of them, and they divide the group based on each person's pace.”
Antonio · Spain · October 2026 · translated review 2-day trek with meals · Omar Adventures-morocco
“First of all, it says that they speak Spanish, but that's not true. None of the guides speak Spanish (bear this in mind). Regarding the food on the first day, there were no problems in terms of quantity/variety. The food on the second day of the summit was appalling.”
Sergio · Spain · October 2026 · translated review 2-day trek with meals · Omar Adventures-morocco

Reviews by trekkers who booked through GetYourGuide.

FAQ

Can I climb Toubkal without a guide?

No. Since early 2019 a licensed local guide is required above Imlil, and checkpoints on the way check for one.

Why is a guide required on Toubkal?

The rule followed the murder of two women hikers in the Toubkal area in December 2018. Since then the park only admits hikers with a licensed guide.

Where are the checkpoints?

Among others at Aremd, at Sidi Chamharouch and at the refuge. They check your passport and the guide’s licence.

Is the guide included in the trek price?

Yes, on every trek on this site. Tips for the guide are not included.

Can I get a guide who speaks my language?

English and French appear on every listing that states languages. Some add Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch or others. Pick the language when booking and confirm it with the operator.
